The Honor Deficit

The Honor Deficit

We have suffered through a devastating attack on “honor and nobility.”

We are diminished.

True evolution is a movement from beast to disciple, yet we have devolved from disciple to beast in an alarming 50 year campaign to disconnect from this ultimate commission. Freedom, the world says, is a release from the demands of character, morals, virtue and truth.

We are diminished.

The highest expression of any desire to strive for new heights of humanity is witnessed in how we worship the Source of existence … the Source of truth, beauty and goodness … yet we offer “cheesy” to our God. Why? Because “cheesy” releases us from any imperative to accept the demand to strive for a greater honor and nobility.

We are diminished.

Honoring a fallen comrade means “due reverence and respect” (see soldier call out crowd at 4:45). Do we demand the same when we come to honor God in worship? We are diminished.
